Answer 1

Answer:

The property in which light falls on a surface and bounce back is called reflection of light.

It can either be reflected or refracted. Reflection of Light. The process through which light rays falling on the surface on an object are sent back is called reflection of light. Thus, when light falls on the surface of an object it sends back the light.

Answer 2

Required Answer :

The property in which light falls on a surface and bounce back is called reflection of light.

Explanation :-

→ When the light come back in the same medium after falling on the surface, it is called reflection of light.

1. When light falls on the smooth or shiny surface, regular reflection occurs.
2. When light falls on the rough surface, irregular reflection or diffused reflection occurs.

$\red{\star}$ Let's Know More!!

Whenever the light falls on a surface, any of these three things may happen :

• The light may be absorbed. [Called absorption of light.]
• The light may be reflected. [Called reflection of light.]
• The light may be transmitted. [Called transmission of light.]

$\longrightarrow$ Regular reflection : When the parallel beam of light strikes on the surface and if it reflects back as a parallel beam in one particular direction, then we call it regular reflection.

$\longrightarrow$ Irregular reflection : When the parallel beam of light strikes on the surface and if it reflects back as a parallel beam in random (different) directions, then we call it irregular reflection.
